We have
discussed at length how to prepare your site for
search engine submission using meta tags. Now
that your site is ready for submission, let us
discuss various options and resources available
in the Net.
How
to Register
There are mainly three ways you can
submit your site to search engines:
1. Manually submit sites
to search engines
In this method, you visit a search
engine, check its submission guidelines, look
for 'Add URL' button, click it and fill out the
submission form.
This is a tedious but very effective
way of submitting sites. Use this method to submit
sites to major search engines (some of which are
listed below)

2. Use Site Submission Service
There are many paid-for and few free
sites that will submit your site to search engines.
Most such sites have two levels: a free and a
pay level. In free level you'll get 20 or so search
engines for free submission. If satisfied with
the result, you may opt for pay level to submit
your site to thousands of search engines. A few
examples of such sites are:

register as member before using their services.
Among very few sites who are still providing totally
free submission service.

3. Search Engine Submission
Software
This is a software to be installed
in your PC. After connecting to Internet, this
software will send a robot or spider to submit
your site to selected search engines. This is
a very handy process if you are submitting many
web-pages to large number of search engines at
regular intervals. A few examples of such software
are:

to 9,000+ promo sites.
